Anytime a romance ends either unhappily or in a tragedy, it's called a Love Story: think Romeo and Juliette, all the love without a perfect happy ending. These stories are powerful and filled with characters who share an amazing romance, but their ending is not meant to be due to interfering forces. Remember, the only thing that sets a love story apart from a romance is the happy ending romance requires and the heart-testing ending a love story delivers; both can be very powerful.
